London is one of the most vibrant and cultural cities in the UK. Being the capital of England and home to so many different landmarks and famous buildings that it’s hard to keep count, it is a place which should be visited by anyone residing in the UK, and anyone visiting from abroad.
School trips to London are ideal because it is a local place with loads to offer students studying all subjects, from science to art and everything in between. Historians can visit a huge variety of places, from the Tower of London to the Imperial War Museum, whilst scientists can enjoy attractions such as the Science Museum and the Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret where you can explore the history of medicine.
For the more artistic types, art galleries such as the Tate Modern and the Saatchi Gallery are great places to admire some of the UK’s most famous artworks, and the Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter is a great way to get film and media studies students used to the dynamic day-to-day life in the industry. English and drama students can be taken back in time at the Globe Theatre where they can watch a Shakespeare play and learn about the plays themselves and how they were originally performed.
No matter what subject you are teaching, a school trip can be just the thing to help your students get a better understanding of it and to make learning about it a bit more interesting. For a local and exciting place to visit, check out some of the school trips London has to offer. There are plenty of places to stay and eat if you’re thinking of staying for a few days, and attractions such as the London Eye and Thames River cruises will provide a perfect way to relax and unwind at the end of the day.
